Eighteen month old Gabriel is the latest “Happy Panda” to model items from our product line. Evette from Smarter.com featured him as a model in her review. We were very pleased to hear that his mother gave us the seal of approval! He is pictured here wearing our size 12-18 months. His black hat features a small sized graphic of a panda holding bamboo. The black pants feature the same graphic on the left bottom pant leg although it is not shown in this photo. Happy Panda provides lots of ways to mix and match our products. Some customers have ordered this outfit with a white lap-t instead of the red. Stop by our shopping area and create your own outfit for the Happy Panda in your life.

This holiday season Happy Panda thought it was appropriate to help The Manny out with this nifty 2008 planning system from Franklin Covey. The system also features a cd titled “The 8th Habit.” We hope that he will find this planner useful as he heads off to his final year at community college. At some point maybe he will blog about this planner and tell us what the 8th habit entails.

Happy Panda products are included in the holiday gift baskets presented by Baby Swags to select celebrity families in time for the Holiday Season.

Select Celebrity families receive an exclusive Holiday Gift Bag for the 2007 Holiday Season and Baby Swags also gives away two bags to contest winners.

“I love all of the products that have been included in these holiday gift bags”, says Pometta. “As an Entrepreneurial woman myself, I understand the amount of time, energy and passion that has been put into each product.” Pometta continues to add, “These products are some of the newest, hottest, entrepreneurial products out there and it gives me great joy have them included, and more importantly, for them to be a part of our Baby Swags family.”

Thank you Phyllis Pometta for doing such a great job! Happy Panda thanks you for all the work that you do and we hope that the celebrity families chosen enjoy their baskets.
